What makes a great exchange gift

  • Broad appeal beats perfect fit. In a White Elephant, the gift should tempt half the room — think cozy, tasty, or cleverly useful.
  • For Secret Santa, use the wish list. A $20 gift someone asked for beats a $40 guess.
  • Skip restricted categories in mixed or workplace groups: alcohol, anything age-restricted, anything that needs a licence.
  • Mind the shipping deadline. Order by early December for Canadian delivery before the party.
